Dropping acid while sick

^^ Well, through lots of psychedelic use I have become extremely comfortable in all stages of almost every trip, even the come-up. I'm not sure though if it's subjective (comfort and familiarity with the mental state), or if it's due purely to physical tolerance.
 
If it's possible to trip under near perfect conditions I don't see a good reason to do otherwise.
It's downright stupid to experience a sucky trip that easily could have been avoided and not just for yourself but for all present.
Use common sense. It's worth it.
 
Tripping whilst sick is probably a bad idea. Set and setting - if you feel a bit crappy before you take the LSD then you may well find yourself feeling a lot crappy afterwards.

Obviously some people seem to have had good experiences with LSD and mild colds. Other people have had bad ones. Given that you can't be sure which experience you'll have wouldn't it be better to wait untill next friday just to be safe?
 
LSD + Cold/Flu

I did some searching, and from most of what i read most people recommended to wait untill your feeling better.

I've had a cold since Monday, it's started to clear up a bit.. but its still hanging around. There's a Doof on tomorrow, and i was considering just taking half a tab of acid.. but i think i might just go and pass on the acid.

I wanted to know if anyone has had any personal experience of using acid while feeling sick? Did it make the trip feel a lot worse?
 
I've done it, it was neither here nor there, neither totally awful nor as good as normal. I'd forgo the LSD, though, if you aren't feeling top-notch, why risk feeling worse?
 
Tripping with a cold?

Hey guys, I have a real good opportunity to trip in a really nice place this weekend, beautiful empty house with great nature style yard and waterviews... sounds nice right? Trouble is I can feel myself coming down with a cold, I don't normally get knocked around too badly by colds but I really don't want to miss this opportunity.

Anyone with experience tripping (not sure exactly what yet, either 2ce, 4-aco-dmt, 2ci or any combo) while sick? Any tips? thanks :)
 
I wouldn't want to trip while sick, unless it's on DXM then that's a different story. I find myself able to trip on DXM when I'm not feeling well because the high dosages of DXM, combined with ridiculous amounts of Vitamin C and Echinacea make the cold go away rather quickly; usually in 3-4 days tops, regardless of how bad the cough/cold is.

Maybe why everybody else is tripping on the good stuff, you can get yourself some DXM and Vitamin C :)

That way you will feel good, be combating the cold and everybody wins.
 
I do have some very good dxm powder, the reason i didn't mention it is because a) it's my parents house and i tend to stumble around and knock shit over while on dxm and b) I want to do it during the day

Still, it is an option I will keep in mind, thanks :)
 
This may sound crazy, but of the few times I do get sick, I work in a hospital so I am constantly around germs, I find that depending on the drug, tripping can be so much more intense if you have a fever. Obviously more speedy drugs wouldn't mix well, but dxm seems to work nicely. I think because of the fever you are already prone to hallucinating or just feeling different than usual.
 
I had one dob trip while having cold and it maked that cold much much stronger...i had it for more than two month after that trip.Dob lowers strongly imune system.
 
Uh... I tripped on 2ce when I had a cold, and it was AWFUL for the first few hours. I vomitted up the first gelcap, and took another. I was definitely more nauseous than usual. Then I just... I could FEEL my body being like, "WHY ARE YOU ON DRUGS YOU ARE SICK!" and it just made me feel extremely fragile and close to death. I was also visiting a friend at his college, so I wasn't in the most comfortable conditions and my throat hurt like hell. And I had no medicine to help me. Ah!

But uh, I had a pretty bad cold. You might be good ;) I've tripped when otherwise injured (example: slammed my finger in a door earlier that day, and it was fine. I didn't feel the pain because I was otherwise distracted ;). Also, that 2ce trip ending up being fine enough, after a few hours. It REALLY depends on how bad your cold is :D
 
Personally for me acid has no affect on my body, i dont think that it would make you feel worse, but it might compromise your immune system. I say go for it if you are willing to deal with the possibility of feeling worse the next day. Have a good new year, hope you feel better
 
Another vote for go for it. Its NYE and personally its never been an issue with minor illnesses and acid for me. The swollen tonsils might get annoying though.
 
If you are just planing on going out and having a good time with people I wouldn't even recommend taking acid. If you are just trying to trip and have a good time, I'd say wait till you feel better. NYE is just a day like any other, no reason why you can't have your "NYE" 3 days from now.
 
Any time Ive dosed while I was sick it was all I could focus on during the trip and it always took it into a negative direction. Its going to amplify the sickness your feeling and its just not gonna be as fun as it could have been if you waited. LSD is precious stuff and I wouldn't wanna waste it by taking it when I wasn't in optimal health conditions.

I took acid a few times when I was going through opiate withdrawals and I gotta say those were probably some of the biggest mistakes Ive made tripping. It felt like I was in a swirling pit of hell for hours , I'm sure just having a cold won't be as bad but I wouldn't recommend anyone to do it , just save the tabs for a later date

Peace & Love ,

Charlie
 
There's a fair amount of anecdotal evidence that psychs aren't the best things for your immune system, it seems. I would avoid it.
 
I would, for sure. If I was on my deathbead with cancer I'll still say 'drop me some of that Lucy, please' (or perhaps something else). :)

I would say that, if anything, it would have beneficial effects on all of your physical system. If you have some good strong hits and you get into a fantastic psychedelic space, you can really heal yourself. I remember a trancendental trip I had on 5 hits of acid, and I was tapped consciously into the holographic multiverse, and I lay back and literally let the universe flow through me and heal my body at a quantum level. An outstanding thing to experience.
 
Personally, I would wait. I've taken acid while sick once before and it's not worth it. Before the trip I was only feeling a little ill, but the next day I was much worse. Not only was it hard to sleep when my body needed it most, but it felt like my my body used all my energy tripping at the expense of my immune system.

If you've only got two tabs, I'd save them for a better set and setting.
